From Wikipedia, judge for yourself. You are right it would have been nice to include this in the summary!

In 2025, Hansson published a blog post[30] expressing support for far-right British activist Tommy Robinson and the 2025 British anti-immigration protests, as well as mourning that London is "no lounger full of native Brits", defining "native Brit" to mean white. Hansson published another blog post[34] in July of 2026 comparing the Romani population of Copenhagen to Denmark's struggles with its wolf population growth, stating that "When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them." Anil Dash and Rebecca Bailey expressed criticism of Hansson's post, decrying its "dehumanizing rhetoric" against the Romani people.[35][36]

Sorry misread your post. You described the backup interface as "something you will need" but I somehow thought you were saying that these plug in panels include it.

A cheap method that I think would work is to add an outlet to the plug-in panel which will continue working during a blackout (as long as the batteries and solar panel can supply power). Is that possible without adding much circuitry?

IMO buying and selling are a matter of gambling on which way you think other people gamble.

I know what .rar and .gz are. If .lz is something similar, maybe dark matter is a compression artifact.

I'm sure that hopping on the AI bandwagon will fix everything.

The fact that it makes a big cloud around a galaxy or cluster rather than collapsing puts a lot of constraints on what it can do.

For more info, you'll have to go to someone who knows more about it than what I've read on science-news websites.

Dark energy is a real puzzle. As I understand it, it's too weak by a factor of 10^30 or 10^60 in comparison from what we should expect the known vacuum energy would cause. You see this mentioned very occasionally, but most treatments of DE that a layman runs across just ignore it in favor of wringing their hands over some issue that is trivial in comparison.

Some boffin cam up with that idea, but they rule it out because DM apparently doesn't interact with itself (very much) other than by gravity, so it can't clump up tight like a star or a planet or a living thing. (Something to do with shedding energy, IIRC.)

But it's a cool idea. If I were a novelist I'd run with it.

According to the article Trump is pretty successful, however he endorses LOTS of candidates, especially ones that will almost certainly win anyway. Previous presidents apparently only endorsed about 1/10 as many, and I would think they would endorse candidates who are in a competitive race (since why waste time endorsing somebody who is going to win anyway?).

Though I have some hopes for whatever replaces Trump, I do feel it is quite possible a far-left group elected as a majority will see voting restrictions and single votes (rather than some kind of ranked) as being just as advantageous to their extremism as they were to Trump's extremism, and will not change a thing.

I don't think the cheaper systems contain that "backup interface". The cheapest way I can imagine making that work will be for it to plug into the meter socket (and the meter plugs into it), and I suspect you need help from the electric company to do that. Is there any other way to install it?

I think there are already models that have batteries in them for exactly this. I would imagine they are much more expensive and heavy than a panel-only model.

Would it be possible to design these so they also have an outlet that remains working even when the inverter is disconnected from the plug? Then anything you plug into this outlet will keep working during a blackout.

I believe that is part of the safety regulations for these things: they have to detect that the main circuit breaker is off and not put any juice into the line. Not sure what happens during a blackout.

Is there 220V plug-in solar in the US? I think it would power both sides of a split 110v system, though I'm not really certain, and those are less common than they once were.

It absolutely does work. Washing machines are required to have anti-back flow valves so they don't pump water into the system.
